Flowers are expensive

Chapter 226 The Man Hiding in the Grange

Someone nearby also echoed, saying that the Cao family was not kind.Mei Xiang stretched her neck and scolded: "What do you care? Hurry up! Hurry up! If you don't leave, I'll be served by sticks!"

Zhen rolled her eyes and scolded Mei Xiang: "You're such a shrew! No wonder you can't get married at this age!"

Mei Xiang turned red, and made a gesture to rush out to fight with Mrs. Zhen, but was dragged back into the hall by the third senior girl who drove out later.Mei Xiang angrily broke away from Aunt Gao's hand and said, "Mother, what are you pulling me for? Then Aunt Zhen thought that Xie Moxiang married Tian Yisheng and it would be great! Who cares? If you call me a little shrew, I have to tear her mouth off." !"

"What's the fuss!" Third Aunt Gao patted Mei Xiang on the shoulder twice, and said anxiously, "Your sister is not at home right now, if you really fight with Xie's family, you will definitely suffer!"

"Sister is really too! Where did you lead those two? Why are you still not back at this hour? The second elder brother was carried away, and the whole village scolded us for being unkind! Speaking of it, I have to blame my sister!" Mei Xiangxiang Dudu sat on the stool and thumped the table twice.

Aunt Gao San sighed and said: "Can you blame your sister? It's all caused by your drunkard father! Who else in our family would tell Xie Manting over there about Haitang, isn't it your father?"

"I can't even figure out what's going on!" Mei Xiang pouted, "Sister hid two people at home, and also hid my second brother at home. Why? Sister won't tell me, and neither will you." do you know?"

"I asked your sister and she didn't tell me. What can I do?"

The two mother and daughter were chattering, Xiang'er yelled that she was hungry, so Third Aunt Gao went to the kitchen to cook for Xiang'er.When it was nearly evening, Third Aunt Gao was cooking in the kitchen when she heard Mei Xiang calling for her father in the yard. She hurriedly got up and patted the firewood on her body, then walked out quickly and asked, "Cao, where are you going?" went?"

Cao An's face was quite good, hot sweat was still hanging on his forehead, the corner of his mouth was pulled up, and he walked straight into the room.Third Aunt Gao hurriedly stopped him and asked, "Hey, let me ask you, did you tell Xie Manting about Haitang?"

Cao An shook off Third Aunt Gao's hand, squinted at her and sneered, "I said it, so what?"

"You have no conscience..." Gao Sangu cursed angrily and tried to push Cao An, but was pushed to the ground by Cao An's palm.Aunt Gao San fell down the steps and fell to the ground on her back, yelling ouch.Cao An folded his hands behind his back, looked down at Third Aunt Gao like an old man, and said, "I have no conscience? If I don't, I will retire early, you fat woman! You can't even give birth to a son, which makes Cao An almost ashamed. As a person in this village, you still have the nerve to call me heartless! Hmph!"

Mei Xiang was taken aback when she heard this, and hurried over to help Third Aunt Gao and asked, "Mother, what Dad said is true? You didn't give birth to him a son, where did the second brother come from?"

Third Aunt Gao supported her sore waist from the fall, and cried out: "You are really not raised by your mother, Cao An! If there is no me in this family, you can still live to this day? If you fall to my death, let's see who will give it to you!" You go cook!"

"Bah!" Cao An spat on the ground, then took out a bag of silver from his sleeve, weighed it in his hand and said, "See? This is a reward from the whole family, and I took the silver Go to the town tomorrow to buy another house, marry a young girl, and take good care of me, who wants you to cook for me? You are not worthy to carry my shoes!"

Aunt Gao San was stunned, looked at the bag of silver and asked, "How much did he tip you? Why did he tip you so much silver?"

"I found Mei Zhi and those two girls for him, can he thank me well?" Cao An said with a sinister smile.

"What? Meizhi and those two girls..."

"It's already in the courtyard!" Cao An said proudly, "Meizhi really knows how to hide people, and actually hid two killers in our house! When I led that brother Yan to chase, I almost missed them." Killed! It’s a good thing I reported the letter early, otherwise I wouldn’t know when I’d die at home! Hmph!” After he finished speaking, he turned around and went straight into the house.

The third aunt in high school turned blue with anger, and almost sat down on the ground.Mei Xiang also became anxious, shaking her arm and asked, "Mother, is sister okay? How about we go to the flower field and have a look?"

"Don't go yet!" Gao Sanguo swallowed coldly and said, "Didn't you hear what your father said? Those two girls are killers! I'm afraid after hearing that! Your sister is so serious that she brought all the killers with her. The family has come and has been hiding for so long, isn't this a disaster for the family?"

"What should we do now? Dad said he was going to the town to marry his daughter tomorrow, can you agree?"

"Damn old man!" Gao Sangu rolled her eyes at the door and cursed in a low voice, "Let him go and see how long he can be happy! Sooner or later, he must deliver his life to the wine god! It is best to leave my eyes , the farther the better, my mother has served him for most of my life, is it enough? He can marry whatever he likes, and I don’t bother to care about it! Mei Xiang, you help your mother to your sister’s house!"

"What are you doing in your sister's house?"

"Be quiet, just follow me!" Gao Sangu stared at Cao An's door vigilantly, and then grabbed Mei Xiang and sneaked into Cao's room.

As soon as she entered Cao's room, Aunt Gao began to rummage through the boxes.Mei Xiang was really surprised, she teased Senior Aunt Gao and asked, "Mother, what are you doing here? Are you looking for something?"

Gao Sangu glanced at the window, hissed and said: "Don't shout too loudly! I told your father to hear it, so he must come over and make trouble with us!"

"Then what are you looking for?"

Third Aunt Gao pinched her big finger and said in a low voice, "That big thing...for nothing...you can still eat it..."

"Pearl?" Mei Xiang guessed right away.

"That's right!" Gao Sangu lowered her voice and said, "Didn't I pick up one of your sister's pearls earlier? She almost strangled my own mother to death because of this pearl! Blame me for taking it out." Swaggering caused her a lot of trouble, hmph, she is too heartless! Without my mother, where would she come from? The one I picked up was also confiscated by her, I really picked it up for nothing! If you don't come back, I have to find those pearls."

Mei Xiang had always been a little afraid of the Cao family. After hearing what Gao Sangu said, she said worriedly: "Mother, you are not afraid that my sister will come back and make trouble with you? It's not like you don't know her temper!"

"Look! When she comes back, the first person to make trouble is not me, but your immortal father!" Gao Sangu murmured as she rummaged through the cabinet, "This time the person who betrayed her is your father, and the one who betrayed her is your father. It’s not me! I’m looking for pearls, just take one is enough... Your father is going to the town to marry a young girl, I have to make plans for myself and you! I still don’t believe it, if I take her one, she can really hold it My mother strangled to death!"

Mei Xiang stood by and didn't move, she was afraid of Mrs. Cao after all.When she looked back, she saw Xiang'er lying on the edge of the door and looking in, revealing two black eyeballs.Mei Xiang hurriedly shouted: "Xiang'er, what are you looking at there?"

Third Aunt Gao stopped her hands, and asked with some embarrassment: "Is Xiang'er here?"

"It's at the door, mother, I'll go and have a look!"

"Hurry up! By the way, just find someone to go to the flower field and ask how your sister and those two girls are doing!"

Mei Xiang chased Xiang'er out the door, but saw no one else, thinking she went to the village to find Grandma Yun.When I was about to go back, I hurried past a few people from the same village.One of them turned around and smiled at her, "Mei Xiang, don't you want to take a look?"

Mei Xiang rolled her eyes and asked angrily, "What are you looking at? What's so interesting?"

"You don't know yet, do you? I heard from the people at Huatian that the fourth brother of the Xie family hung your sister and the other two girls up!"

"What!" Mei Xiang asked in alarm, "Why did you hang my sister up? Is he crazy?"

The man gloated and said with a gleeful smile: "Cough! Who knows? Isn't this just going to watch some excitement?"

Mei Xiang immediately broke out in a hot sweat, and didn't dare to go see it alone, so she had to go home to find her mother first.The news of Mrs. Cao being hanged spread throughout the small village in an instant, and every household rushed to the flower field to watch the excitement, just like a Chinese New Year firecracker!

When the news reached Mo Xiang and Yi Sheng's ears, they didn't believe it at first, but when they rushed to the big sycamore tree next to the flower field, they really saw two women and a little girl hanging upside down from the tree, one of them was Cao. Shi!
Under the sycamore tree, people from the inner three floors and the outer three floors had already surrounded them. They all raised their heads and pointed at the three people who were hanging upside down.Some feel pitiful, some find it funny, and more people are curious. This Xie Manting doesn't look like a villain. Why does he seem to be a different person when he comes back this time? Not only are there more people around him, but even his heart is as if A lot harder.

Mo Xiang looked at Mrs. Cao who was hanging upside down, feeling somewhat pity in her heart.Cao's whole face was blushing as if congested with blood, but her lips were purple, hanging there flickeringly, as if she was out of breath.On the other hand, Qing Ya'er next to her, although her face was also blushing, struggled and yelled non-stop: "Damn Yan Luo! Get out of here! I'm not afraid of you, little aunt! Die Yan Luo! Die Yan Luo!"

Mo Xiang looked at Qing Ya'er curiously, and asked Yi Sheng, "Who is she calling? Who is Death Yama?"

Yi Sheng shook his head lightly and said, "I don't know either. Such a young man has such guts. He must not be an ordinary person."

"Fourth Uncle is too cruel, right? How long is he going to hang the three of them?"

"Don't forget, your real fourth uncle is at Xie's house." Yi Sheng cast a thoughtful glance at the courtyard gate not far away, "The fourth uncle your family mistook seems to have a lot of background. Leaving aside Cao Except for the housekeeper, the other two are all dressed in short clothes, they look like people from the Jianghu."

When the crowd was making noise, Yan Amber walked under the sycamore tree and said loudly: "There is nothing to see, let's all go back!"

"What is that for?" Deng Wu stepped forward and asked, "This has never happened in the village, so there must be a reason for it?" The people next to him all echoed and said yes, yes.

"Talk about the head?" Yan Amber pointed to Qingya'er who was still twisting on top of her head and said, "Have you all seen it? Is this girl who keeps scolding a fuel-efficient lamp? If I tell you , she is a female killer, do you believe it?"

The crowd suddenly exploded, and they all looked up at Qing Ya'er.Qing Ya'er gritted her teeth, twisted her body like a pupa and cursed: "Little aunt is a killer! Don't wait for the day when I can untie, otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?" Yan Amber looked at her coldly and said, "Give up your saliva while you have strength, and don't be arrogant here! Speaking of it, your father and brother are both felons of the court, and you are not far behind !"

"Bastard! Bastard..." Qing Ya'er scolded until her voice became hoarse, and she coughed repeatedly.

Qiao Yuan, who was hanging by the side, hurriedly said: "Qing Ya'er, there's no need to yell with him, he's not worthy! Even if you yell through your throat, he still can't make decisions, so you might as well keep your energy and spend it with him slowly!"

When everyone heard Yan Amber say that the court committed a serious crime, they all subconsciously took a step back.Deng Wu asked Yan Amber: "According to what you say, this girl is also a felon of the imperial court?"

Yan Amber nodded and said, "That's right, both of them are important criminals wanted by the imperial court, and Cao Meizhi acted recklessly, hiding at home and trying to help them escape, Village Chief Deng, do you think they should be hanged here?"

"This..." Deng Wu understood that this matter was no longer his business, so he turned around and said to everyone, "Since it's about the imperial court, don't just look around here, you won't see a big pancake here. Go back! Go back!"

Although everyone was curious, they were afraid when they heard that it was about the imperial court, and reluctantly turned and left.Mo Xiang was about to step forward to ask questions, but was pulled away by Yi Sheng.Mo Xiang followed behind him and whispered, "I want to ask if Fourth Aunt is back."
